Physiognomatic (in progress)

Pysiognomatic is a non-fiction film, which traces the history of the use of the face as a tool to manage identity and measure character. Spanning topics from ancient letters of identity to the current use of facial recognition software in ‘the war on terror’ the film examines techniques of identification in light of their historical moments and considers the human desire to be able to measure threat through outward appearance.
